When you buy Tools Plus, you will receive these special benefits:
√ License to continue using Tools Plus after the thirty day
evaluation period has expired

like commercial applications)

Updates and major upgrades are available by disks through conventional mail.
We can also send you software updates electronically (by email). To be capable of receiving updates electronically from Water’s Edge Software, you must have the necessary email components and software as detailed below:
(1) You need an Email Account
--- eWorld ---
If you have an eWorld account, we can send you a compressed archive by way of a file enclosure in an eWorld Mail message. When receiving such an enclosure, you pay only for connect-time. A typical update will take less than five minutes with a 9600 bps modem, and a large one will take around 15 minutes.
--- CompuServe ---
If you have a CompuServe account, we can send you a compressed archive by way of a CompuServe file transfer. Effective September 15, 1995, you pay only for connect-time (not by volume transfered). A typical update will take less than five minutes with a 9600 bps modem, and a large one will take around 15 minutes.
You will receive a separate CompuServe Mail message describing the update so you can decide if you want to receive the large file or delete it without incurring charges for connect time while downloading.
--- Internet and Other Email Systems ---
Your email account must be capable of receiving large messages, often larger than 100K, and sometimes exceeding 1MB (or 1000K). Some email systems segment incoming mail into smaller chunks (usually of less than 32K) and require that the message be reassembled before it is decoded and decompressed. AOL and AppleLink are examples of such systems.
If you are running a “pure” Internet account (or have access to one), it may be as simple as using a different application for your email to prevent segmentation, such as Eudora (a shareware email app that can send and receive very large enclosures). Alternatively, you can ask your email administrator to increase the file size threshold at which enclosures become segmented.
(2) You need BinHex and decompression software
When sent by Internet, our updates are compressed by StuffIt Deluxe and encoded with BinHex 4.0 (to allow transmission on a text-only medium such as Internet).
You will need an application that can decode the BinHexed file and decompress it. An excellent application that does this is Aladdin System’s “StuffIt Expander.” The latest version is 3.0.7, and it is available as freeware from most bulletin boards.
When sent to CompuServe or eWorld accounts, our updates are compressed by StuffIt Deluxe (they are not BinHexed since CIS and eWorld allow enclosure of binary files). StuffIt Expander will do an excellent job at decompressing these archives.
You will become a registered user when you receive your Tools Plus Registered Developer package, which includes:
• the latest version of Tools Plus on a disk
• a printed Tools Plus User Manual
• a Software License for Registered Developers
You must abide by the terms and conditions of the Evaluation License until you received your Tools Plus Registered Developer package from Water’s Edge Software.
